Jewelry designer/goldsmith Barbara Hendricks has developed her own unique style, which includes her World Gold Council Award winning “plaid series.” Barbara’s inherent creativity compels her to transcend traditional goldsmith techniques, forging new design frontiers. She has built a reputation for her one-of-a-kind custom jewelry. She explains, “these pieces are an avenue of expression for the client which I am able to bring to life and are often a springboard for other design endeavors.”

Images of her work has appeared in respected publications such as National Jeweler, Modern Jeweler, Goldsmith, Jewelers Circular and Niche Magazine (which honored her with its esteemed Niche Award.) Recently, one of Hendrick’s stunning jewelry pieces was selected by the Festival of Arts and presented to award-winning actress Jane Seymour for her contributions to the art.

A native Minnesotan, Barbara relocated to Southern California in 1983 and maintains a studio in Dana Point. Barbara has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine arts, is a 33-year consecutive exhibitor at the renowned Laguna Beach Festival of Arts (a rigorously juried art exhibition), and is exhibited nationally by galleries and fine jewelry stores.
